body horor done right, high stakes, great wordwork, but the map is too linear

Fantastic entry. Visuals are very retrofitted and cool, the cover is amazing and the general vibe is very on tone. Writing is solid and understandable and the layout make it very readable. I'm not a fan of spatial fantasy settings but this entry do looks great!

Great art, great map, and viscerally disgusting descriptions of everything else (complimentary). A very deadly entry, that adds to the desperate, forlorn fate of the PC’s predicament. Fantastic job!

Seeing the cover I thought: “Oh! Fairytale spaceship adventure.” But nooooo. It’s a deadly gauntlet making the crew work hard and fast for the rescue of their world.

The module tells you everything you need to know before playing: talk to your players about not everyone making it out of there. Then go in there.

The map, though beautiful, does in its geometry not match the organic description of the planet’s intestines. Some hand drawn, curvy illustration might have done better.

Seems like a fun, quick in-and-out adventure for those who dare :)

What a smooth layout and map, the color of the module calms my eyes. Also I love that the map is simple yet every part of the map is interactive and meaningful. 

Lastly, I like the adversaries option and how you use chemistry and put calcium carbonate into the adventure.

Crispy clean layout and visuals here, dungeon is short and sweet but looks easy to run with minimal prep. Great work, love the monster illustrations too, you gave those slimy bois so much personality!

BIG YES! Hellstar Remina meets Dead Space meets later Alien movies!

The world reminds me very much of Troika. I think I might run this on Troika.

Cool cover art! This is a dungeon where one can run easily without minimum to no prep! 

If I were to add something: it will be a small room (6) after room (5) that has a secret path connecting to room number (3) referring to the torn note "a hole in the wall that swallowed Riya"

But nevertheless this is a perfect dungeon for a quick one-shot or dropped in a larger campaign !

Short and sweet! But I'm more interested in the premise of the world! Would love to see the implication of the overextraction from the Dyson sphere!

Very cool adventure. I love the art style. I think I might add something to the map, to make it not quite so linear, if I were to run it, although due to the nature of the adventure, I think the map works just fine. The layout makes this very easy to pickup and run, as well.

Whoa, so the players are swallowed by a living planet? This is a nice and short negadungeon.

Submitted

The random hazards are deadly! oohh yes i also love the scattered bits and pieces that might be useful when exploring the dungeon

Submitted

the concept of a living planet reminds me of junji ito's remina and it's irresistibly awesome

Very cool map, but also a weird and ominous background as well! Love it!
